Ronaldo misses penalty & Man Utd crash out of FA Cup

Chelsea have been drawn away to Luton Town in the FA Cup fifth round while Manchester City will visit Peterborough as many of the big Premier League sides avoided each other. The Blues needed late penalty heroics from goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to edge past Plymouth Argyle at Stamford Bridge, and face a trip to Luton after they ended Cambridge’s run.

Peterborough, also of the Championship, defeated QPR and will host Premier League leaders City after Pep Guardiola’s side brushed aside Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. Middlesbrough's reward for their penalty shoot-out victory over Manchester United on Friday is a home tie against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham while Southampton’s home fixture against West Ham is an all-Premier League clash, although Liverpool will face Norwich if they defeat Cardiff on Sunday.

Boreham Wood, who face Bournemouth on Sunday night, would face a trip to Frank Lampard’s Everton should the non-league side reach the fifth round.

Follow live updates and fixture news from the fifth round draw below, before Liverpool vs Cardiff City in the first game of the day:

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

24 mins: Liverpool win a corner that Trent Alexander-Arnold swings into the penalty area. Diogo Jota is the target but the cross goes over his head.

Cardiff clear the ball up to Harris who holds it up before giving it back to Eli King. He whips a diagonal ball over to the left side where Vaulks brings the ball under control. He checks inside to the right and hits a shot towards the back post but it goes wide of goal!

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

21 mins: Chance! Harris is getting himself into the game. Cardiff chip the ball over the top and the forward makes a could run in behind the Liverpool back line. He takes the ball to the right side of the box and drills a low pass across the front of goal. James Collins and Will Vaulks both get close to the pass but neither can direct it at goal and the chance goes begging.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

18 mins: Harris is fed the ball on the left wing and spins well to run into the box. He gets in behind Ibrahima Konate and tries to buy a penalty by cutting in front of the Liverpool defender and going down when there’s contact.

The referee lets play go on and VAR doesn’t overturn his decision.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

15 mins: Mark Harris wins the ball off Jordan Henderson with a decent sliding tackle but the Liverpool midfielder lands awkwardly as he flips over the Cardiff man.

The physios give Henderson a once over and he’s back on his feet to play on.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

12 mins: Disallowed goal! Tsimikas makes an overlapping run into the box and receives the ball from Jones. He cuts it back into the middle where Takumi Minamino shoots on the spin and finds the bottom right corner only for the offside flag to go up against the Liverpool left-back.

Liverpool are having a lot of joy down the left side with Tsimikas. He’s got a ton of space to operate in and can seemingly send passes into the area with ease. This time a low pass comes towards Roberto Firmino but Pack intercepts and wins a goal kick.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

9 mins: James Collins and Virgil van Dijk both challenge for an aerial ball and Collins fouls the Liverpool centre-back with an arm to the face.

The Reds push up the pitch with the ball and Curtis Jones attempts to feed Keita into the centre of the box. The pass is intercepted and cleared as far as Jordan Henderson. Henderson chips it over to Kostas Tsimikas on the left wing and the defender flicks a cross into the box that gets headed clear.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

6 mins: Save! Liverpool should be one up. Naby Keita brings the ball inside from the right and threads a pass into the feet of Diogo Jota. Jota’s first touch is class, he flicks it around Oilver Denham and turns away from the Cardiff defender to set up a chance to shoot. He then laces a left-footed strike at goal and is denied by Dillon Phillips in goal.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

3 mins: Marlon Pack nicks the ball in the middle of the pitch and carries it towards the Liverpool box. He’s got defenders in fron of him and decides to try his luck from range. He catches it well enough and forces Kelleher into a save low to his right.

Bright start from Cardiff City.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Cardiff

Kick off: Cardiff get the ball rolling at Anfield. They knock it back to the defence before sending a long ball over the head of Virgil van Dijk. Mark Harris chases him down and presses Coaimhin Kelleher as the ball is played across to the Liverpool goalkeeper. Kelleher keeps his cool though and laces the ball over to the right wing.

FA Cup fourth round: Liverpool vs Cardiff

Here come the teams. The winner of this game will face Norwich City in the next round. Jurgen Klopp has named a strong line-up with Steve Morison resting a few players to focus on the Championship.

On paper Liverpool should dominate this game but you just never know with the FA Cup. We’ve already seen some upsets in the competition this season, are we going to witness another one at Anfield today?

Kick off is next...
